respecting each other and recognizing when someone needs support, whether that is at work or at home.”
The final value, Creative, is perhaps the most directly connected to TurboChef’ s identity as an innovation-driven manufacturer.
“ Creativity is fundamental to everything we do,” Katie says.“ We have to continually find better ways to do things, whether that is in product innovation, operations or supply chain. Thinking outside the box and bringing learnings from outside the business into what we do is part of our DNA.”
Simplifying life through innovation
The Subway contract in 2004 may have been the moment that transformed TurboChef from an emerging technology company into a recognized industry leader, but the company’ s evolution did not stop there. Being added to the Middleby brand portfolio in 2007 opened up opportunities for new innovative pursuits, greater brand visibility and an expanded customer base.
Today, TurboChef continues to expand its technology, markets and global reach while maintaining the same fundamental commitment that has guided the company from the beginning: simplifying life through innovation.
The technology has evolved. The customer base has expanded. The company has grown from a rapid-cook pioneer into a broader foodservice technology business. But the philosophy remains the same. TurboChef exists to help foodservice operators do more with less space, less time and greater consistency, while giving them the tools to serve their customers better.
That commitment to innovation, continuous improvement and partnership is what TurboChef believes will continue to drive its next chapter. ■ www. turbochef. com manufacturing-today. com 67
